Mexican Beers, Ranked
Cinco de Mayo used to be a nice little half-holiday on which Americans drank Corona and tequila after work in a vague but earnest tribute to Mexico. What exactly did Cinco de Mayo signify? Maybe it commemorated the beginning of a just reign or the end of a cruel one; perhaps it had something to do w...
You Fucked Up Now, Jay Z, The Lax Bros Are Coming For You
Jay Z has a verse on the latest DJ Khaled track, which may or may not include a diss aimed at Drake (in response to that whole fondue plate thing): "Haters wanna ball, let me tighten up my drawstring / Wrong sport, boy, you know you soft as a lacrosse team."

José Abreu Is The Game's Best Old-Fashioned Slugger
José Abreu had himself a damn weekend. On Friday night, he clubbed two home runs—including a walk-off grand slam that nearly led to old bastard Hawk Harrelson having an on-air joy-aneurysm—and drove in six runs against the Tampa Bay Rays.

How To Make Fish Tacos, Perfection Now And Forever
Hell no, I don't need to persuade you to make fish tacos. Pfft. No way.

Hawk Harrelson Takes To MLB Network To Complain About Hemorrhoids
Chicago White Sox announcer Hawk Harrelson turned up on Chris "Mad Dog" Russo's MLB Network show High Heat yesterday, and things went pretty much exactly as you'd expect, with lots of talk about Carl Yastrzemski, Tony La Russa, and this year's purportedly dangerous White Sox squad.

Awful Man Snatches Souvenir Baseball Away From Little Kid
Perhaps there will come a day when adults will stop stealing baseballs away from kids, but this is not that day. This dude right here is shameless, and has obviously never consulted this handy chart. Behavior like this is only acceptable if you are stealing a ball from this awful Australian kid....
How To Cheat, Do Drugs, And Succeed At Baseball, By Dock Ellis
We're big fans of Dock Ellis, obviously, so we enjoyed this latest animated short, narrated by the man himself and excerpted from Donnell Alexander's Beyond Ellis D.

Meb's Yankees-Red Sox First Pitch Not Total Disaster
It can be tough for distance runners to use their emaciated upper bodies for most things other than ballast, but Boston Marathon winner Meb Keflezighi's first pitch at the Yankees-Red Sox game last night wasn't a total disaster. A little outside, sure, but just watch how the bottom drops out. ...
Michael Pineda Again Isn't Discreet About His Pine Tar, Gets Ejected
The last time Yankees pitcher Michael Pineda faced the Red Sox—on April 10—he clearly had pine tar on his hand. No one on the Red Sox brought it up, and the Yankees won.
